Distinctive

A single huge grinning clown in a salmon-pink jacket and blue checked cap filling the whole centre of the backglass, straddling a pile of black-and-white Victorian machines. The word NOSTALGIA slants across his chest in cream letters with a pink drop shadow. A contrasting palette of pale mint-green and white antique machinery — windmill, steam engine, bellows camera, alarm clock, motorcycle wheel — sits against a flat mustard-yellow background.

Full description

Landscape translit backglass on a flat mustard-yellow ground, framed by a white outer border and thin black keyline. A single enormous clown figure dominates the centre: an adult male clown with a white face, red nose and red painted teardrop marks, shoulder-length auburn hair, a blue-and-teal checked peaked cap with a pink brim, and a salmon-pink jacket over a red-and-green striped shirt and tie. He leans forward over a jumble of black-and-white vintage machines, gripping a pale twisted handlebar-like object with both hands. The word SEGA sits in small blue block capitals at upper left and NOSTALGIA runs diagonally across the middle in large cream-and-pink slab-serif letters with a dark outline. Above are 1UP and 2UP seven-segment score windows showing 08060 and 00000. A white instruction panel at upper right reads YOUR NUMBER / SELECT NUMBER BY PRESSING YELLOW BUTTON BEFORE SHOOTING LAST BALL. Inset are labelled inserts CREDITS, BALL IN PLAY, CAN PLAY and GAME OVER, the last in a red oval at lower right. Around the bottom sit a windmill, a steam engine, a bellows camera, an alarm clock, a motorcycle wheel and a funfair organ, plus tiny script writing on the clown's shoe.
